A little bit about me

Hello my name is Kaylee, I am 25 years old. I am originally from Northern California where I was in a child development program called the APPLE Academy in high school. I attended Santa Barbara City College for 4 years and obtained two Associate degrees in Education and Arts and Humanities. I now live in San Diego and have been here for almost 3 years. I am attending Arizona State University online to obtain a Bachelor’s degree in Family and Human Development. I currently work for an extended day learning program at an elementary school and I am CPR certified. I started off as a program leader who works one on one with groups of children and have worked my way up to being the Assistant Site Coordinator. After obtaining my degree I hope to pursue teaching but for now, I’d love to work personally with a family and be able to help in any way that I can. I can assist with any age groups, help with homework, feeding, drop-offs/pick-ups, etc… Please feel free to reach out (:

A little bit about me

Hi - My name is Cameron.

I worked in Corporate America for a decade and recently lost my job in a big layoff. I decided to step away for a while and go back into something that I loved and fulfilled me. Childcare... I started babysitting on weekends at age 12, and then after school until I was 18. I became a fulltime nanny while I was in collage. I have over ten years of experience with boys and girls, ages 0-16, and up to four children at once. I drive a 2024 Mazda CX-30 (fits car seats) with a clean driving record. I am happy to help with meal prep, light cleaning, feeding, diaper changes, and entertaining/playing with the kids.

I live a very active and healthy lifestyle. My personal hobbies are yoga, hiking, cooking, journaling, beach days, and spending time with family and friends.

I hope to align with your needs and look forward to connecting.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Aly, I have been a nanny in San Diego for more than 6 years (10 years total in multiple cities), mostly doing a nanny-share during that time. I am very energetic, love being outdoors and playing sports and believe in getting kids as much fresh air as possible! I have experience working with infants to elementary aged kids and very good with multiple kids (my last family I worked in a share with 5 kids between the two families). Unfortunately the youngest are starting pre school so I am looking to become a part of a new family! I look forward to talking with you and getting to know your family better!
